This week on the show, I talked at length about the latest DMCA exemptions, Apple’s latest hardware offerings, and about how Iceland crowd-sourced the writing of their new Constitiution. I wish the country the best of luck, and I hope that it all works out for the best for them, as a model for the future of government in this digital age. Also folks, be safe about your phones this flu and cold season.
